DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATED EMBODIMENTS

Some embodiments include integrated assemblies having transistors. The transistors include a channel region between a pair of source/drain regions. The channel region is within a polycrystalline first semiconductor material, and at least one of the source/drain regions is within a second semiconductor material. The first semiconductor material is gated, and the second semiconductor material is not gated. Conductivity-enhancing dopant is within the second semiconductor material. The conductivity-enhancing dopant is neutral type relative to the first semiconductor material. Example embodiments are described with reference to FIGS. 1-5 .

Referring to FIG. 1 , an integrated assembly 10 includes a memory cell 14 over a digit line 16; with the memory cell and digit line being supported by a base 12.

The base 12 may comprise semiconductor material; and may, for example, comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of monocrystalline silicon. The base 12 may be referred to as a semiconductor substrate. The term “semiconductor substrate” means any construction comprising semiconductive material, including, but not limited to, bulk semiconductive materials such as a semiconductive wafer (either alone or in assemblies comprising other materials), and semiconductive material layers (either alone or in assemblies comprising other materials). The term “substrate” refers to any supporting structure, including, but not limited to, the semiconductor substrates described above. In some applications, the base 12 may correspond to a semiconductor substrate containing one or more materials associated with integrated circuit fabrication. Such materials may include, for example, one or more of refractory metal materials, barrier materials, diffusion materials, insulator materials, etc.

A gap is provided between the base 12 and the digit line 16 to indicate that there may be other materials, components, etc., provided between the base 12 and the digit line 16 in some embodiments. For instance, an insulative material (not shown) may be under the digit line 16.

The base 12 extends along a first direction represented by an x-axis. Such first direction may be referred to as a horizontal direction.

The memory cell 14 includes a charge-storage device 18 coupled with a transistor 20.

In the illustrated embodiment, the charge-storage device 18 is a capacitor. In other embodiments, the charge-storage device may have other configurations suitable for reversibly storing charge; and may, for example, comprise phase-change material, conductive-bridging material, etc.

The capacitor 18 has a node coupled with a reference voltage 22. Such reference voltage may be ground, Vcc/2, or any other suitable reference voltage.

The transistor 20 includes a polycrystalline semiconductor material 24. The polycrystalline semiconductor material 24 may comprise any suitable composition(s); and in some embodiments may comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of one or more of silicon, germanium, III/V semiconductor material (e.g., gallium phosphide), semiconductor oxide, etc.; with the term III/V semiconductor material referring to semiconductor materials comprising elements selected from Groups III and V of the periodic table (with Groups III and V being old nomenclature, and now being referred to as Groups 13 and 15). In some embodiments, the polycrystalline semiconductor material 24 may comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of polycrystalline silicon. The polycrystalline material 24 may be entirely polycrystalline and may have a uniform grain size throughout its thickness. Alternatively, in some embodiments the polycrystalline material may not have uniform grain size throughout its thickness and/or may have amorphous regions, voids, or other pockets which are not polycrystalline.

The polycrystalline semiconductor material 24 is configured to include a pillar 26. The pillar 26 extends in a second direction represented by a y-axis. The second direction may be referred to as a vertical direction; and in some embodiments the pillar 26 may be referred to as a vertically-extending pillar.

The pillar 26 is along a base region 28 of the polycrystalline semiconductor material. In some embodiments, the pillar 26 be considered to have a bottom side (i.e., first side) 27, and a top side (i.e. second side) 29. A channel region 30 of the transistor 20 is between the bottom and top sides 27 and 29.

A first source/drain region 32 is under the pillar 26 and adjacent to the bottom side 27, and a second source/drain region 34 is over the pillar 26 and adjacent to the top side 29. In the illustrated embodiment, the first source/drain region 32 is directly against the bottom side 27, and the second source/drain region 34 is directly against the top side 29.

The first source/drain region 32 comprises a first source/drain material 36, and the second source/drain region 34 comprises a second source/drain material 38. The source/drain materials 36 and 38 comprise semiconductor material, and comprise different semiconductor material relative to the polycrystalline semiconductor material 24. In some embodiments, the semiconductor material 24 may be referred to as a first semiconductor material, and the materials 36 and 38 may be referred to as second and third semiconductor materials, respectively. The semiconductor materials 36 and 38 may comprise the same composition as one another, or may comprise different compositions relative to one another.

The semiconductor materials 36 and 38 may have any suitable crystallinity (e.g., may be monocrystalline, amorphous, polycrystalline, etc.) In some embodiments, the semiconductor materials 36 and 38 are polycrystalline, and have good lattice-matching characteristics relative to the polycrystalline material 24.

Ultimately, the semiconductor materials 36 and 38 will be doped with conductivity-enhancing dopant so that such semiconductor materials become either n-type (i.e., the majority of charge carriers are electrons) or p-type (i.e., the majority of charge carriers are holes). There have been prior efforts to utilize polycrystalline semiconductor materials as channel materials of transistor devices. However, it is found that the dopant provided in source/drain regions adjacent the channel material can problematically diffuse or otherwise migrate along grain boundaries of the polycrystalline channel material to penetrate deeply into the channel material. The dopant may then alter the threshold voltages of the transistor devices and problematically impact device performance. Further, crystalline boundaries will vary across a population of transistor devices and accordingly the effect on the threshold voltages will be non-uniform across a population of transistor devices. This can render the population unsuitable for tightly-regulated operations; such as, for example, operations in which the transistors are intended to be utilized as access devices across a memory array.

In some embodiments, the semiconductor materials 36 and 38 are chosen so that the conductivity-enhancing dopant utilized to achieve desired conductivity within such semiconductor materials is neutral-type relative to the polycrystalline semiconductor material 24 (with “neutral-type dopant” being dopant which does not increase the relative proportion of electrons or holes within the semiconductor material). Accordingly, if the conductivity-enhancing dopant utilized within the semiconductor materials 36 and 38 migrates into the semiconductor material 24, such will not be problematic since the dopant is neutral-type relative to the semiconductor material 24.

The semiconductor materials 36 and 38 may comprise any suitable composition(s); and in some embodiments may comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of one or more of silicon, germanium, III/V semiconductor material (e.g., gallium phosphide), semiconductor oxide, etc.; with groups III and V being old nomenclature, and now being referred to as Groups 13 and 15 of the periodic table.

In some embodiments, the first semiconductor material 24 may comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of silicon; and the second and third semiconductor materials 36 and 38 may both comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of a composition comprising at least one element from Group 13 of the periodic table in combination with at least one element from Group 15 of the periodic table. For instance, such composition may include one or more of GaP, AlAs, GaAs, AlP, InP, AlSb, GaAlAs, GaInAs, GaInP, etc.; where the chemical formulas indicate primary constituents rather than specific stoichiometries. In some specific embodiments, the source/drain materials 36 and 38 may both comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of a composition comprising gallium in combination with phosphorus (e.g., GaP).

Numerous dopants are available which enhance conductivity in the source/drain regions 32 and 34 while being neutral-type relative to semiconductor material 24 in embodiments in which the semiconductor material 24 comprises silicon, and in which the semiconductor materials 36 and 38 comprise compositions containing elements from Groups 13 and 15 of the periodic table. Example dopants may include one or more elements selected from Group 14 of the periodic table. For instance, in some embodiments the conductivity-enhancing dopant utilized within the semiconductor materials 34 and 36 may include one or more of silicon, carbon and germanium. The conductivity-enhancing dopant utilized within the semiconductor material 36 of the first source/drain region 32 may be the same as that utilized within the semiconductor material 38 of the second source/drain region 34, or may be different relative to that utilized within the semiconductor material 38 of the second source/drain region.

In some embodiments, the first semiconductor material 24 may comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of silicon; and the second and third semiconductor materials 36 and 38 may both comprise a semiconductor oxide. The semiconductor oxide may comprise any suitable composition(s); and in some embodiments may include one or more of indium, zinc, tin and gallium. For instance, the semiconductor oxide may comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of a composition having oxygen in combination with indium, zinc and gallium. The indium, zinc and gallium may be considered to be metals within such composition. The stoichiometric content of the composition may be expressed as a metal atomic percent. Specifically, the content of each of the metals of the semiconductor oxide may be expressed in terms of its concentration relative to the total concentration of all of the metals of the semiconductor oxide; and ignoring the concentration of the oxygen. In some example embodiments, the semiconductor oxide of materials 36 and 38 may comprise a metal atomic percent of indium within a range of from about 16 to about 26, a metal atomic percent of gallium within a range of from about 45 to about 55, and a metal atomic percent of zinc within a range of from about 24 to about 34. In some example embodiments, the metal atomic percent of indium may be within a range of from about 18 to about 24, the metal atomic percent of gallium may be within a range of from about 47 to about 53, and the metal atomic percent of zinc may be within a range of from about 26 to about 32.

Numerous dopants are available which enhance conductivity in the source/drain regions 32 and 34 while being neutral-type relative to semiconductor material 24 in embodiments in which the semiconductor material 24 comprises silicon, and in which the semiconductor materials 36 and 38 comprise semiconductor oxide. Example dopants include hydrogen (e.g., H₂). An advantage of H₂ may be that such may passivate grain boundaries within the polycrystalline silicon 24 and otherwise improve device performance to the extent that the H₂ diffuses into the polycrystalline silicon 24.

The transistor 20 includes a transistor gate 40 overlapping the polycrystalline semiconductor material 24, and not overlapping the first and second source/drain regions 32 and 34. Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment of FIG. 1 the transistor gate vertically-overlaps the channel region 30 (i.e., is adjacent to the channel region), and does not vertically-overlap the source/drain regions 32 and 34 (i.e., is not adjacent to the source/drain regions). It is desirable that the source/drain regions 32 and 34 not be gated by the transistor gate 40 because gating of the source/drain regions may increase off-state leakage of the transistor 20.

The transistor gate 40 is coupled with a wordline WL1, and is configured to induce an electric field across a portion of the channel region 30 in response to voltage being provided along the wordline WL1. The transistor gate 40 is an example of an electrical gate configured to induce an electric field across a portion of the polycrystalline semiconductor material 24.

The gate 40 comprises conductive gate material 42. Such material may comprise any suitable electrically conductive composition(s); such as, for example, one or more of various metals (e.g., titanium, tungsten, cobalt, nickel, platinum, ruthenium, etc.), metal-containing compositions (e.g., metal silicide, metal nitride, metal carbide, etc.), and/or conductively-doped semiconductor materials (e.g., conductively-doped silicon, conductively-doped germanium, etc.).

Insulative material 44 extends along sidewalls of the pillar 26, and around the transistor gate 40. The insulative material 44 may comprise any suitable composition(s); and in some embodiments may comprise one or more of silicon dioxide and various high-k materials (with the term high-k meaning a dielectric constant greater than that of silicon dioxide). Regions of the insulative material 44 between the gate 40 and the pillar 26 correspond to gate dielectric material 46 (also referred to as gate insulative material). Such regions may comprise the same composition as the remaining portions of insulative material 44, or may comprise different compositions relative to the remaining portions of insulative material 44. In some embodiments, the gate dielectric material 46 may comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of silicon oxide.

Example dimensions are provided relative to the transistor 20. Specifically, the transistor may comprise a height H from a bottom surface 33 of source/drain material 36 to a top surface 39 of source/drain material 38 of at least about 500 nanometers (nm). The source/drain regions 32 and 34 may comprise thicknesses T₁ and T₂, respectively, of from about 5 nm to about 100 nm. The thicknesses T₁ and T₂ may be about the same as one another, or may be different relative to one another (with the term “about the same” meaning the same to within reasonable tolerances of fabrication and measurement). The bottom source/drain region 32 may be vertically offset from a bottom of the gate 40 by a distance D₁ of from about 5 nm to about 100 nm; and the top source/drain region 34 may be vertically offset from a top of the gate 40 by a distance D₂ of from about 5 nm to about 100 nm. The distances D₁ and D₂ may be about the same as one another, or may be different relative to one another.

The top source/drain region 34 is electrically coupled with the charge-storage device 18. In the shown embodiment, the top source/drain region 34 is directly against a conductive material 48, which in turn is coupled with the charge-storage device 18. The conductive material 48 may comprise any suitable electrically conductive composition(s); such as, for example, one or more of various metals (e.g., titanium, tungsten, cobalt, nickel, platinum, ruthenium, etc.), metal-containing compositions (e.g., metal silicide, metal nitride, metal carbide, etc.), and/or conductively-doped semiconductor materials (e.g., conductively-doped silicon, conductively-doped germanium, etc.).

The bottom source/drain region 32 is electrically coupled with the digit line 16, and in the shown embodiment is directly against the digit line 16.

The digit line 16 comprises conductive material 50. Such conductive material may comprise any suitable electrically conductive composition(s); such as, for example, one or more of various metals (e.g., titanium, tungsten, cobalt, nickel, platinum, ruthenium, etc.), metal-containing compositions (e.g., metal silicide, metal nitride, metal carbide, etc.), and/or conductively-doped semiconductor materials (e.g., conductively-doped silicon, conductively-doped germanium, etc.). In some embodiments, the conductive material 50 may be referred to as conductive-digit-line-material.

The digit line 16 is shown to be part of a digit line labeled as DL1. The digit line DL1 and the wordline WL1 may be representative of numerous wordlines and digit lines extending across a memory array, and the memory cell 14 may be representative of multiple substantially identical memory cells extending across the memory array (with the term “substantially identical” meaning identical to within reasonable tolerances of fabrication and measurement).

FIG. 2 shows a portion of an integrated assembly 10 a comprising a region of an example memory array 52. The memory array 52 includes memory cells 14 of the type described above with reference to FIG. 1 . Each memory cell includes an access transistor 20 coupled with a charge-storage device 18. The charge-storage devices 18 are diagrammatically illustrated with boxes to indicate that such devices may include any suitable components. The components may be capacitors of the type shown in FIG. 1 , or may be other suitable devices which reversibly store charge. Each of the memory cells 14 includes a gate 40, with the gates being coupled to wordlines WL1, WL2 and WL3.

FIG. 3 schematically illustrates a portion of the memory array 52, and shows such memory array comprising digit lines DL1, DL2 and DL3, together with the wordlines WL1, WL2 and WL3. Each of the memory cells 14 within the memory array is uniquely addressed through a combination of one of the wordlines and one of the digit lines. The memory array may include any suitable number of memory cells 14; and in some embodiments may comprise hundreds, millions, tens of millions, etc., of memory cells.

In some embodiments, the memory array 52 may be within a memory tier (i.e., memory deck) which is within a vertically-stacked arrangement of tiers (or decks). For instance, FIG. 4 shows a portion of an integrated assembly 10 b comprising a vertically-stacked arrangement of tiers 54, 56, 58 and 60 (also labeled as tiers 1-4). The vertically-stacked arrangement may extend upwardly to include additional tiers. The tiers 1-4 may be considered to be examples of levels that are stacked one atop the other. The levels may be within different semiconductor dies, or at least two of the levels may be within the same semiconductor die.

The bottom tier (tier 1) may include control circuitry and/or sensing circuitry (e.g., may include wordline drivers, sense amplifiers, etc.); and in some applications may comprise CMOS circuitry. The upper tiers (tiers 2-4) may include memory arrays, such as, for example, the memory array 52 described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 . The memory arrays within the various tiers may be the same as one another (e.g., may all be DRAM arrays), or may be different relative to one another (e.g., some may be DRAM arrays, while others are NAND arrays). Also, one or more of the upper tiers may include control circuitry or other logic circuitry.

In some embodiments, it is found that it can be relatively straightforward to utilize monocrystalline semiconductor material (e.g., monocrystalline silicon) in circuit devices fabricated in the bottom tier (e.g., tier 1), but it can be difficult to utilize monocrystalline semiconductor material in the upper tiers. Instead, it is easier to utilize polycrystalline semiconductor material (e.g., polycrystalline silicon) in the upper tiers. Accordingly, it is desired to develop memory arrays having polycrystalline channel material within the access transistors. The transistors 20 of FIGS. 1 and 2 may be particularly suitable for utilization in the upper tiers in that the transistors utilize polycrystalline channel material, and may have uniform electrical properties (e.g., on-current, off-current, threshold voltage, etc.) across the population of transistors within the memory array.

The embodiment of FIG. 1 shows a transistor 20 having a vertically-extending channel region. In other embodiments, analogous transistors may be configured to have horizontally-extending channel regions. For instance, FIG. 5 shows a portion of an integrated assembly 10 c having a transistor 20 a with a horizontally-extending channel region 30 a. The transistor 20 a supported by the base 12, and is similar to the transistor 20 of FIG. 1 except that the channel region 30 a of the transistor 20 a extends horizontally, while the channel region 30 of the transistor 20 of FIG. 1 extends vertically. In some embodiments, the polycrystalline semiconductor material 24 of the transistor 20 a of FIG. 5 may be considered to have the first side 27 and the second side 29 in a horizontally-disposed relation relative to one another. In contrast, the same first and second sides 27 and 29 of the transistor 20 of FIG. 1 are in a vertically-disposed relation relative to one another.

The assemblies and structures discussed above may be utilized within integrated circuits (with the term “integrated circuit” meaning an electronic circuit supported by a semiconductor substrate); and may be incorporated into electronic systems. Such electronic systems may be used in, for example, memory modules, device drivers, power modules, communication modems, processor modules, and application-specific modules, and may include multilayer, multichip modules. The electronic systems may be any of a broad range of systems, such as, for example, cameras, wireless devices, displays, chip sets, set top boxes, games, lighting, vehicles, clocks, televisions, cell phones, personal computers, automobiles, industrial control systems, aircraft, etc.

The terms “directly under”, “directly over”, etc., do not indicate direct physical contact (unless expressly stated otherwise), but instead indicate upright alignment.

Structures (e.g., layers, materials, etc.) may be referred to as “extending vertically” to indicate that the structures generally extend upwardly from an underlying base (e.g., substrate). The vertically-extending structures may extend substantially orthogonally relative to an upper surface of the base, or not.
